The negative one is the third root of the equation x³ - 4x² + 2x + 10. Then the correct option is B.
Polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of variables and coefficients. Variables are called unknown. We can apply arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, etc. But not divisible by variable.
The polynomial equation is given below.
[tex]\rm x ^3-4 x ^2+2 x+ 10 = x ^2 -5 x-3[/tex]
The equation can be written as
[tex]\rm x ^3-5 x ^2+7 x+ 13 = 0[/tex]
The equation has a complex root [tex]- 3 \pm 2 \iota[/tex]
Put x = -1, then we have
[tex]\begin{aligned} (-1) ^3-5 (-1) ^2+7 (-1)+ 13 = 0\\\\-1 - 5 - 7 + 13 = 0\\\\0=0 \end{aligned}[/tex]
The equation is satisfied by the negative one. Then the negative one is the third root of the equation.
